Together, the five tight ends all hover around the 6-foot-5 mark, making them a mismatch nightmare for opposing defensive backs, assuming they have a pass-catching role in Auburn’s new-look offense.“We are kind of putting more on his plate as far as the pass game and the RPO world,” Aigamaua said when asked of Fairweather specifically. “This spring, every day, he’s doing something out there spectacular with the catches, taking the ball off the DB’s head, whatever it is.
Given Fairweather’s size and athleticism, he’s got quite the role on Auburn’s offense, Aigamaua says. But when things will get real testy for opposing defenses is when the Tigers run more than one tight end out on the field.
